Victoria Laurie---Ghoul Interrupted---Jan/2012---Obsidian/Paranormal Mystery
*****
This story is terrific. M.J. + Heath tackle their most emotional and harrowing
entity. A Demon centuries old has returned for revenge and is killing Heath's family.
I learned so much about Heath's family and ancestors the story was riveting.
Janet Evanovich+Dorien Kelly---Love in a Nutshell---Romance--The Gus Group LLC
****
A charming story of reinventing yourself and finding love along the way. Kate is
spunky, witty and a clutz. Matt is a self made man and workaholic, with
mysterious happenings at his microbrewery.
Thoroughly enjoyable.
Jayne Ann Krentz---Copper Beach---Jan 2012---Penguin
****
Another solid story, lots of suspense and mystery, and the animal magnetism
she crafts so verra well. I read everything she writes.
Rachel Gibson---True Love and other Disasters---2009---Romance-Avon Books
****
Faith and Ty's story, with the background of a professional Hockey Team.
Another great story, I was on a beach in Maui for this one and it was the perfect
fodder for all the beach eye candy. Moves quickly and interesting the whole
way thru.
Terry Spear---Heart of the Highland Wolf---2011---Romance---Source Books
*****
This was my first Terry Spear Book and I'll be looking for more.
Set in present day Scotland, Julia is on a mission from her Grandfather to
locate an ancient relic hidden in Argent Castle and steal it. The relic holds a
family secret which he refuses to divulge.
Ian Mac Niell is the Laird and a Werewolf. There's lots of adventure and intrigue,
and the action is constant. I loved it!
Kasey Michaels---A Midsummer Nights Sin---2011---Romance---Harlequin
****
This book has it all! Grreat characters, Puck and Regina--Her father is a self
made man with a cruel streak. Her mother is a blue blood sold to pay her
fathers gambling debts. It shows the white slavery trade going on in Regency
England.
It moved at a good pace, and I enjoyed the story.
Susan Sey---Money Shot---2011---Romance---Berkley Sensation
***>
Engaging characters with the kind of relatable flaws that are witty, humourous
and oft times uncomfortably real. The story was fast moving,suspenseful and
a great read. I'll read another of her books.
Kelley Armstrong---Hidden---2011---Fantasy---Subterranean Press
*****
Armstrong's stories are so layered and compelling that the characters
jump off the page and into my heart. I am completely absorbed and my
surroundings vanish.
As ever, the interplay between Elena and Clay is scintillating. The inclusion
of the eminently precocious 4 year old twins are such a lively addition they
all but steal the show.
The twin's interaction with their parents had me laughing out loud and I
found myself smiling broadly during their interplay.
A serious subject is tackled with real human emotions and reactions.
Hidden is by turns intimate, exciting, suspenseful, and filled with humour.
Another Platinum effort by Kelly Armstrong.
Darynda Jones---First Grave on the Right---2010---Fantasy---St. Martins Press
****** the 6 star rating goes for all three of her books. (Keep on reading...
WoooHooo! What a Ride!!!
This book proves Sarcasm is Sexy. Hell, Satan's Son is Sexy. Pun fully intended.
Charley Davidson is The Grim Reaper.
There are dead people everywhere and Charley's attitude is witty,fun and
sassy. She also let's you in to the sad and dark sides of her life.
This book starts with a bang and it's a steeplechase right to the finish.
I read this in one night, it was riveting and un-put-downable.
Second Grave on the Left---2011---Fantasy---St Martin"s Press
******
Another Home Run!!! Charley and her entourage give more heart stopping
action and mysteries that defy my every attempt to puzzle them thru.
Another stay up and read all nite book
Third Grave Dead Ahead---2012---Fantasy---St. Martins Press
******
Wow! Another roller coaster ride of murders and mysteries and family drama.
Charley's signature witty, sarcastic and always heartfelt dialogue is
compelling.
The story continues in it's complexity and swept me along at mach 10 with
my hair on fire.
Nobody get's in more tight spots than Charley and I want to be there for
for all of them!
Hell to the Ya!!!
Anya Bast---Dark Enchantment---2011---Paranormal Romance---Berkley
*****
I have always liked Anya Bast's Stories. This Book kicks it up to a whold
new level.
The conflicts and mysteries are multi-faceted and the characters have a
depth the made the story compelling.
I was hooked, and read as fast as I could.
Well done and looking forward to the next one!
Diana Rowland---Mark of the Demon--2009---Fantasy---Bantam
*****
Introduced to Kara Gillian an orphan Demon Summoner-Police Detective,
newly appointed to Homicide.
There's delightfully offbeat Aunt Tessa, Rhyzkahl(Reeze-call) and FBI agents
Ryan and Zack.
Demon's are not evil. They are supernatural beings from another plane.
Rhyzkahl is powerful and sexy, and very cagey.
Kara's first case is a serial killer that has returned The Symbol Man.
I loved the characters, compelling dialogue, and the story rocketed along.
I read her first 3 books 3 days in a row. Oh Ya!
